Along the way there are stations such as the forest quiz and the Urleteich with life-size wooden figures from the Meierei. The circuit ends at the Burgteich, where the lord of the castle says goodbye in person. ## Why the Burgherrenrunde suits active holidaymakers The forest tracks are well kept and the 182 metres of ascent are pleasantly spread out. At the Jungfernsprung the view opens up over the Gerlitzen and the Ossiacher See, and a little further on there is a photo point that frames the castle perfectly. If you want to walk further, add the Tauernhöhenweg towards the Ossiacher Teich. ## What to expect - Circular trail of approx. 3.7 km, walking time approx. 1.5 hours, 182 metres of ascent - Jungfernsprung with a panoramic view of the Ossiacher See and the Gerlitzen - Forest quiz and the Urleteich with life-size wooden sculptures - Photo point with Burg Landskron in the picture frame - Can be combined with the Adlerarena and the Affenberg right on site ## Good to know If you want to be out for half an hour longer, park at the toll station instead of up at the Burgteich. That turns the short circuit into half a day’s hiking. ## Practical information Burgherrenrunde Walking time approx. 1.5 hours, 3.7 km, 182 metres of ascent Admission free of charge, toll for the drive to the Burgteich car park Distance from the apartment on the Faaker See approx. 14 km, 20 min. by car Getting there via Villach to Landskron, car park at the Burgteich.
